Upon a man's death, he goes to the grave and does not have consciousness. If he has accepted Christ, he will be raised from the dead when Christ returns. Because there is no awareness of the passage of time in the grave, for the believer, the moment of his death becomes the moment of the return of Christ.
Psalms 115:17 "The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence."
Psalms 146:4 "His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish."
Psalms 6:5 "For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?"
Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."
I Thessalonians 4:16,17 "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
